Three coaches of Mahananda Express derail in Bihar's Arrah, no casualties reported
Arrah (Bihar), Sep 6 (IANS) Three coaches of the Sikkim Mahananda Express derailed on the up line near Bihar's Arrah Railway Station on Sunday morning, triggering panic among railway officials and staff. However, no casualties or passenger injuries were reported in the incident, officials said. The 15483 Alipurduar Junction-Delhi Sikkim Mahananda Express derailed on the up line, approximately 200 metres from platform number two. The train's engine, SLR, and H-1 bogie were reported to have derailed. The incident caused widespread concern, and railway officials and staff immediately rushed to the spot and launched rescue, restoration and repair operations. According to officials, the Mahananda Express had arrived at platform number two of Arrah railway station at 4.12 a.m. on its way to Delhi. It has been reported that a technical problem during the operation of the train resulted in its signal shifting towards the Sasaram line. The train subsequently moved ahead and derailed on the up line at a location approximately 200 metres away from the station. After receiving information about the derailment, railway personnel immediately reached the site and began rescue and restoration work. Teams worked to bring the affected coaches back into position and reassembled the three derailed units, including the engine, SLR, and H-1 coach. Rail operations have been disrupted following the incident, with railway authorities working to assess the condition of the track and signal system before normal train movement can be restored. A railway technical team has reached the site and is currently inspecting the track, signalling arrangements and other relevant railway infrastructure. Officials are also investigating the circumstances that led to the signal shifting towards the Sasaram line and how the train subsequently proceeded in the wrong direction. Railway authorities are working on a war footing to restore normal train operations and clear any disruption caused by the incident. Officials and technical teams are assessing the situation at the site and undertaking the necessary restoration work.

Teachers Day At CUK speakers highlight evolving role of teachers in AI era
Ganderbal, Sept 5: Central University of Kashmir (CUKashmir) celebrated Teachers Day on Saturday through online mode, paying glowing tributes to the teaching fraternity and reaffirming the significance of teachers in instilling values, nurturing responsible, enlightened and socially conscious citizens who contribute meaningfully towards the nation building. The programme was organised by the School of Education. In his presidential address, Vice-Chancellor, Prof. A. Ravinder Nath conveyed the Teachers Day greetings from the Chancellor, Governor of Bihar, Lt. Gen (Retd) Syed Ata Hasnain and said the day should be seen as an occasion to recognise both formal and informal teachers, including parents, society and nature. He emphasised that higher education must focus not merely on imparting knowledge but on transforming knowledge into wisdom and preparing students to become responsible contributors to society. He called upon teachers to embrace multidisciplinary education, innovation, experiential learning and stronger collaborations with industry and communities. CUKashmir VC emphasised that universities must evolve from traditional temples of learning into centres of excellence, where knowledge and intellectual property contribute to economic empowerment and societal betterment. Delivering the keynote address on Role of Teachers in Building a Nation, COO and Academic Director AIMST University, Malaysia, Dr. Kerron G. Reddy said teachers are nation builders and that meaningful nation-building was impossible without their contribution. She urged educators to discharge their responsibilities with passion, commitment and affection, stressing that teachers have a vital role in guiding young people towards appropriate career choices and helping them identify their aptitude, skills and aspirations. In his special remarks, Dean Academic Affairs, Prof. Shahid Rasool said the role of a teacher, particularly in higher education, has always been central to the creation and transmission of knowledge. Traditionally, the teacher was regarded as the expert, the authority, and the principal source of knowledge. But today, that model is undergoing a profound transformation. The arrival of digital natives and the emergence of artificial intelligence have changed everything, he said. Prof. Shahid added that If knowledge and information is available everywhere, and artificial intelligence can increasingly perform many tasks that teachers were performing, then what is the role of the teacher? The answer is simple. The teacher is not becoming less important and will remain central to the transmission of knowledge, he further said. Earlier, in her welcome address, Dean School of Education, Prof. C. Naseema said Teachers Day was not merely an occasion for celebration but a moment for reflection, gratitude and reaffirmation of the profound responsibility shouldered by teachers. She observed that a teachers influence often remains invisible but can endure for a lifetime. Deans of Schools, Heads and Coordinators of Department, faculty members, scholars and students attended the online event. Sr Asst Prof. Dr. Firdous Ahmad Sofal conducted the proceedings and HoD, Department of Education, Prof. Syed Zahoor Ahmad Geelani proposed the vote of thanks.

She urged educators to discharge their responsibilities with passion, commitment and affection, stressing that teachers have a vital role in guiding young people towards appropriate career choices and helping them identify their aptitude, skills and aspirations. She said the advent of AI had not diminished the importance of teachers but had increased their responsibilities manifold. With information readily available at students fingertips, teachers must constantly update their knowledge, adapt pedagogy and make learning creative, relevant and engaging. She also highlighted the importance of establishing a personal connection with students, saying that a simple smile, greeting or conversation could make a lasting difference.

Senior Assistant Prof Dr Firdous Ahmad Sofal conducted the proceedings, while HoD, Department of Education, Prof. Syed Zahoor Ahmad Geelani proposed the vote of thanks.
The unheard signals of a changing India
History is often remembered selectively. Those who hold power today, particularly those whose political journeys were shaped by the movements of an earlier India, would do well to remember not only what brought those movements to the surface, but also what the establishment failed to hear before they did. Indira Gandhis triumph in 1971 was one of the defining moments in Indias political imagination. It transformed the balance of political power and strengthened the authority of the Prime Minister to an extraordinary degree. Yet barely three years later, in early 1974, an agitation in Bihar over rising prices, unemployment and corruption grew into a much larger political movement. Under Jayaprakash Narayan, it acquired the moral vocabulary of Total Revolution. By 1977, it had helped transform the political landscape of the country and ended the Congresss uninterrupted rule at the Centre. Many who exercise influence in India today were either participants in that era or were politically shaped by it. After half a century, it is worth asking whether India is once again sending signals that deserve to be heard. This is not to suggest that another 1974 is upon us. History does not repeat itself so neatly. India today is a very different country: its economy is larger, its population younger, technology has penetrated almost every aspect of daily life, and its social and political landscape is considerably more complex. Yet beneath the surface of political stability, anxieties are becoming increasingly visible, particularly among Generation Z. Their protests may be scattered and their grievances may appear disconnected. They have no obvious political leader and no common vocabulary. But they possess something earlier generations did not have to the same extent: the ability to connect instantly, amplify local grievances and transform individual frustrations into a shared national conversation. The young people of the 1970s found in Jayaprakash Narayan a moral reference point capable of transforming anger into purpose. He did not merely echo their grievances. He gave them a language through which those grievances could be understood as part of a larger national crisis. Generation Z has no comparable figure today. But it has questions. Questions about employment and opportunity, education and healthcare, merit and fairness, corruption and accountability, housing and economic security, and the widening distance between aspiration and achievement. For now, these concerns remain fragmented. But political movements are rarely born fully formed. They begin as unease. They acquire language, find resonance and eventually discover leadership. The Anna Hazare movement offered an earlier glimpse of this process. It did not become the transformative political movement many had imagined, but it revealed a deep reservoir of public frustration over corruption, accountability and institutional failure. Its lasting significance may lie less in what it achieved than in what it revealed. The question before those in power today is therefore not simply whether a particular protest can be contained. It is whether the protest is revealing something about the India taking shape beneath the surface. But concentrated political authority carries a subtle danger. It can create distance between the centre of power and the institutions through which society is meant to speak to it. That was perhaps one of the deeper failures of that period. The problem was not simply the personality of the leader. It was the weakening of the channels between leadership, administration and society. When those channels cease to carry inconvenient truths upward, political leadership may remain powerful while becoming progressively less informed about the realities beneath it. The growing political influence of the Youth Congress and the role associated with Sanjay Gandhi reflected this wider tendency towards political intrusion into institutions expected to retain a measure of autonomy. An attempt to extend political control over institutions can, paradoxically, weaken the very system it seeks to strengthen. The lesson is not that todays India is 1974. It is that institutional weakness can produce political consequences even when political authority appears secure. That possibility deserves attention today. Unemployment, concerns about merit, the commercialisation of healthcare and education, housing pressures, economic insecurity and administrative delays in Cooperative societys allotment pending through decades are often treated as separate problems. But when such experiences accumulate across millions of lives, they can become something larger: a belief that the system no longer works with equal fairness for everyone. Consider the citizen waiting for an approval, an allotment, a certificate or a decision. A cooperative society may wait years for permission. A file may move from desk to desk without explanation. A legitimate entitlement may become entangled in procedure. Yet the same machinery can sometimes move with remarkable speed when influence enters the picture. Such experiences do more than inconvenience citizens. They teach citizens how the state works. Once people begin to believe that access depends more upon influence than entitlement, institutional trust begins to fray. This matters particularly to the middle class, which is invested in stability, education, employment and upward mobility. Precisely because it has placed so much faith in the promise of a fair and functioning system, its disappointment can be profound when that promise appears uncertain. Generation Z may therefore be expressing not only the frustrations of its own generation, but also frustrations accumulated silently by the generation before it. This brings us to the central question. The Prime Minister may work tirelessly. His personal energy and political commitment are evident. But the issue is not whether the leader is working hard enough. It is whether the system around him is telling him the truth. Who carries the unvarnished reality upward? Who is willing to say that a policy is failing where it is failing? Who listens to the citizen who cannot obtain what should be a routine entitlement? Who distinguishes between what the system reports and what society actually experiences? A healthy political system requires institutions to perform this function. They are the bridges between power and society. When those bridges are strong, criticism reaches the leadership before it becomes anger. When they weaken, the leadership may continue to hear praise while society quietly accumulates resentment. Political strength and institutional strength are not the same thing. A leader can be immensely popular. A government can possess a formidable electoral mandate. The opposition can appear weak. Elections can continue to deliver decisive victories. None of these, by itself, guarantees institutional vitality. India nevertheless possesses an extraordinary advantage. Its diversity, pluralism and democratic resilience provide considerable space for correction. That space should be used while correction is still possible. There is still time to listen. There is time to speak to young people without assuming that every protest is political theatre. There is time to engage professional bodies, educators, entrepreneurs, civil society, cooperative organisations and ordinary citizens who encounter the state not through speeches, but through files, forms, hospitals, universities and workplaces. Listening does not mean accepting every demand. It means understanding the anxiety behind the demand and recognising that a citizen who complains is not necessarily an opponent of the state. Often, the complaint comes from someone who still believes the state can respond. Jammu and Kashmir offers an instructive example of why this connection matters. The restoration of statehood remains an important public concern. At the same time, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has demonstrated the value of sustained engagement with different sections of society. His familiarity with the region, direct engagement with people and relatively restrained public communication illustrate an important principle: administration is most effective when it remains connected to the society it governs. Whatever ones political assessment, Manoj Sinhas approach demonstrates that governance need not always be expressed through rhetoric. Listening, understanding the local ecosystem and communicating with restraint can itself become a form of political confidence-building. But engagement must also extend to unresolved questions. Public confidence is built not only by celebrating achievements, but by demonstrating that unfinished commitments and legitimate concerns remain visible to those who govern. The same principle applies to Indias wider security and diplomatic challenges. Any meaningful reduction in tensions between India and Pakistan would be welcome, and if a substantial and durable truce emerges, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha would deserve credit for the role their respective leadership and administrative efforts played in creating the conditions for greater stability. But such developments should be judged by their durability and by whether they translate into greater security, confidence and normalcy for people on the ground. That is where the larger responsibility lies. The challenge before the present leadership is not merely to defeat an opposition, contain a protest or win the next election. It is to preserve the institutional bridges between power and society.When those bridges remain open, grievances can travel peacefully.When they close, grievances search for other routes.That is why those who govern should listen to now.The strength of a democracy lies in whether those in power can hear it while it is still a whisper.
